Ring Light
When I want to feel a bit more "pro," I reach for this. It’s cordless, which is a lifesaver for my messy room. I can set it up anywhere without tripping over wires. The light quality is super soft, which is perfect for filming makeup tutorials or clo...
Lume Cube Cordless Ring Light Pro Black 18-inch Edge-Lit LED Ring Light
I use these when I need a "three-point lighting" setup. They come on small desk tripods, so I tuck them behind my monitor to fill in the shadows. They make my desk setup look like a professional studio for under $50.
Neewer 2-Pack Dimmable 5600K USB LED Video Light with Adjustable Tripod ...
This is how I get those cool "Pinterest-room" colors in the background of my videos. I point these at my back wall to create a soft wash of pink or purple. It adds so much depth and personality to a plain white wall!
Govee Outdoor LED Flood Lights 2 - Bright, Waterproof, With Smart Control
If you’re just starting out, this is the "starter pack" essential. I love that the tripod is extendable to eye level, and the phone holder is actually sturdy (no drooping!). I personally use the "warm" setting to get that cozy, sun-kissed aesthetic.
Sensyne Ring Light
Lens
You don't need a $3,000 DSLR to start. Most of the content we love is shot on phones or entry-level cameras. This section covers the gear I use to stabilize my shots, get those "overhead" cooking angles, and make sure my phone is doing the absolute m...
This is the only way I get those smooth, cinematic "walking" shots. It folds up tiny, and the "ActiveTrack" feature is like having a personal cameraman—it literally follows my face as I move around the room!
Osmo Mobile 6 - Unfold Your Creativity
Sometimes the standard phone lens feels a bit flat. I love clipping on the "Macro" lens for close-ups of jewelry or skincare textures. It gives my phone photos that professional "depth of field" look that usually requires a big camera.
10 in 1 Phone Lens Kit
I’ve tried a dozen tripods, and this is the one I keep coming back to. It’s tall enough for full-body "Outfit of the Day" shots, but it also has a Bluetooth remote so I can snap photos of myself without having to run back and forth to hit the timer.
Ubeesize 67” camera Tripod
If you do any DIYs, desk journaling, or "flat-lay" unboxings, you need this. It clamps to my desk and holds my phone perfectly flat over my workspace. It’s the only way to get those satisfying "top-down" shots without the tripod legs getting in the w...
Overhead Phone Mount
When I’m recording tutorials on my laptop or hopping on a brand call, my built-in laptop camera just doesn't cut it. This webcam is a classic for a reason—the color is natural, the focus is sharp, and it makes me look professional instantly.
Logitech C920x HD Pro Webcam
Audio & Aesthetic Accessories
People will watch a blurry video, but they won't listen to bad audio. This section is all about the "un-sung heroes" of a setup—the mics that make your voice sound crisp and the aesthetic accessories that make your desk look like a dream.
These are those tiny mics you see everyone clipping to their shirts lately! They are a total game-changer for filming in public or in a noisy house. My voice sounds so crisp and clear, even if I’m standing 20 feet away from my phone.
Lark M1 - Wireless Lavalier Microphone
This is the cutest mic on the market. It looks like a little retro sphere on my desk. I use it for all my voiceovers because it plugs directly into my computer—no complicated setup required. It makes my voice sound "radio-rich" for a very low price.
Blue Snowball for sale
This is an "aesthetic" tool that is also functional. It dampens the sound of my keyboard and mouse (so it’s not as clicky in videos) and instantly makes my desk look like a curated workspace. Plus, it’s a great neutral background for product photos!
Desk Mat Felt
When my room is a mess but I need to film a "talking head" video, I just pop this behind my chair. It allows me to swap out my background for a clean office or a cozy library in post-production. It folds down into a tiny circle when I'm done!
